?? ? ? ? ? You guys are going to love this one . . .?

Whenever Joe and I both have a full day off, we like to take the bikes to Santa Monica and ride down the boardwalk to Venice. ?Once in Venice, it is tradition for us to park them right in front of Mercedes (a cuban?restaurant) find an outdoor table, watch the sunset and sip on the best drink known to man . . . banana mojitos. ??

This is one of our favorites “day-off” activities and we highly recommend it. ?If you can’t get away to the beach to visit Mercedes, we have experimented and discovered how you can make them right at home AND we’re willing to share that recipe with all of you . ?How much do we rock?! ?I hope everyone has a fantastic week and if not . . . well, here’s to your banana mojito.

Hey when life gives you bananas, make banana mojitos!

I shot this recently and love it. ?It reminds me of an Impressionistic painting. ?It’s not in crisp focus and I don’t care. ?It has an emotional feel to it and it’s my pick of the month.

I hope everyone had a fantastic Easter. ?

Joe and I headed out on Sunday morning to have lunch with the fam. and do a little catching up. ?I decided to bring the camera along for family portraits but?ofcoarse,?none of the adults wanted their picture taken. ?It was me, Joe, a couple of dogs, one cool kid (Paige), and some stuffed animals . . . that’s really all one needs for a portrait session right? ?
